Political Chatter

 The ZDF (Channel Two, public TV) Politbarometer came to be updated today.  Two aspects worth discussing:

1.  There's only 3 points separating SPD and CDU-CSU.

2.  There's a poll they did, and it suggests that a third of the voting public are NOT decided yet on who they will vote for.

Any truth to this?  I would suggest it's more of the case that no one is really that 'attractive' and a quarter of the folks aren't that happy over the choices. 

Potential that 10-to-20 percent might make the decision at the last minute?  Yeah, that might happen.

Shocker value of this election?  The gut feeling is that the SPD will win, and it'll be a marginal number of votes for this victory (certainly less than 30-percent).  So the coalition question is actually a bigger deal than who wins.
